Obtain The Sewtionary: An A To Z Guide To 101 Sewing Techniques + Definitions Formulated By Tasia St. Germaine Viewable As Edition
a person who knows a bit about sewing and has had a chance to do some of the basics, this is a fantastic resource, and its written by a Canadian! I learned the basics in high school and in the intervening years have made a lot of curtains, simple children's clothes and simple garments.
To help me go to the next level, making more difficult garments that are well finished, this book is a great tool, I liked the easy alphabetical layout and the depth and breadth of topics, Each topic doesn't just have a definition but most have a photo tutorial, tips and notes, and details on when best to use the technique, Diverse topics from seam finishes to lining to matching plaids and working with hair canvas cover just about everything you are going to run into on most sewing projects.
The physical book is a spiral bound hardcover, This makes it practical for laying open and referring to while work is in progress
This is not a book that is teaching crafts or home decorating type sewing, it focuses on clothing.
I highly recommend this book to people who want to sew better garments, Hand down the best sewing resource, I keep this next to my sewing machine for when I can't quite remember how to sew a fly or reinforce a dart, From "applique" to "zippers" and everything in between!
